People will not receive further alarms and warning messages on their mobile phones today - despite it stating on the government website that would be the case. It was reported that select people in the UK would receive the message on Tuesday, April 25, as the Government carries out a second test of its new Emergency Alerts System.
Crucially, not everyone was set to receive the alert - unlike the plans announced for a couple of days ago. However, despite the official government website posting that another test would take place, the Cabinet Office has since confirmed this won't happen.
It comes after the government rolled out the initial test for the system on Sunday, April 23, with every 4G and 5G mobile phone in the UK supposed to be pinged by the loud siren and accompanying message. Some people, therefore, were left surprised that they didn't receive the message until hours after it was scheduled.
